These pages are not parts that students see when studying the course. They are parts that teachers see when administering the course. So, like many of the other links in the course and quiz settings, it is page layout admin.

I am unlikely to change it back unless you can start a discussion in the Themes forum that convinces a majority of people there that the current behaviour is wrong.
